About me...

As a guitarist and musician, I've been fortunate to turn my passion into a career. Inspired by The Beatles at age 8, I honed my craft with top-notch teachers, including those at Hofstra University's renowned music program. Over the years, I’ve studied the styles of legendary guitarists, built a diverse career as a performer, songwriter, session musician, and educator, and learned to play hundreds—if not thousands—of songs.

​

I actively perform, tour, and release music with my own bands, including Don’t Believe In Ghosts who has signed with Imagen Records/Warner ADA, amassed over 4 million streams, had music featured on Apple TV's WeCrashed soundtrack, and sold out iconic NYC venues like Bowery Ballroom. I was also a member of Face the King, a CI Records-signed band that became a national Ernie Ball competition finalist and performed at some of the country’s largest festivals including Milwaukee Summerfest,Vans Warped Tour, ROCKSTAR Uproar Festival, and the CBGB Festival Times Square. My latest project, The Neon Skyline, recently debuted its first EP with two sold-out release shows in NY.

​

As a session guitarist, I’ve worked with a variety of singer-songwriters and bands, some of whom have later been featured on American Idol, The Voice, and The X Factor. More recently, I was selected to play guitar for the pop/hip hop duo MKTO, best known for their massive hit “Classic” and for guest performing with Taylor Swift on her 1989 Tour. I am currently their touring guitarist and will be traveling with them for their Fall 2025 tour in Australia.

Throughout my career as both a session player and original band member, I’ve had the privilege of sharing the stage with:

​

• Shawn Mendes

• Melanie Martinez

• Coheed and Cambria

• PVRIS

• Billy Idol

• Pat Benatar

• Sheila E. & Dr. Fink (Prince and The Revolution)

• Shinedown

• Staind

• Godsmack

• Static X

• We Came As Romans

• Nick Carter

• Jake Miller

• Aaron Carter

• Jax (American Idol)

• Sal Valentinetti (America’s Got Talent)

My work in live performance, social media, and online guitar content has earned me sponsorships from PRS Guitars, Ernie Ball, KORG, VOX, Samson Audio, Michael Kelly Guitars, and more. In the studio, I’ve recorded and worked with renowned producers mixers, and songwriters such as:

• Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons)

• Ken Lewis (Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Bruno Mars)

• Cooper Anderson (FUN., Kesha)

• Don Miggs (Post Malone, Dolly Parton, Steven Tyler)

• Stephen Marcussen (The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters)

• Brendan Benson (The Raconteurs)

• Nick Brown (Mona)

For the past 10 years, beyond performing I've been passionate about sharing my knowledge with students of all ages, teaching guitar lessons to individuals ranging from 4 to 70+ years old. I've had the joy of watching my students grow and develop their own musical talents.
